    Mine got a lot better when I went on birth control so the hormone medication might help! You should try to find a dermatologist if you have Medicaid or anything you can find ones that take it and will pay for you to get laser hair removal. I got it when I was in high school and I have had maybe a handful of small bumps that usually go away. If it’s for pain management, they could get this for you for free.
